Emphysema is a chronic lung disease characterized by difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, coughing and fatigue. We will look at some possibilities that may help make life a little easier when suffering from emphysema.
When it comes to difficulty breathing it makes sense to stay calm and destress.
Let’s first start off with a cup of hot tea, honey and lemon to sip on. Add a pinch of organic cardamom if you like.
Medical News Today by Danielle Dresden. Some teas that are said to be helpful (organic):
Green tea, Chamomile tea, Lemon Balm tea, Linseed tea, Sage tea, Thyme tea, Mallow tea, Rosehip tea, Mint tea.
Next look into some different breathing exercises. This can include Diaphragmatic Breathing which is deep belly breathing. A good way to get started with this is to do some guided meditations. You will kill two birds with one stone by learning how to deeply relax while doing some deep breathing, allowing your body to slow down and destress.
Pranayama, another breathing technique involves yoga and breath regulation.
It is very intentional, inhaling, exhaling and holding your breath in a specific sequence. You can go on YouTube and find many instructors guiding you through the sequence. Also on YouTube you can find the “pocket breath coach” breathing for stress 4-7-8. There is a beautiful ocean background with the ocean sounds and a simple to follow breathing diagram with a sounding gong alerting you when to breath, hold and exhale your breath. Check it out. It is very well done helping to calm anxiety.
Essential oils can be included in several ways.
*Epsom salt bath. In a measuring cup, measure 2 cups Epsom salt and add to that 5 drops Lavender and 5 drops Bergamot. Mix it together and pour it into a running bath. Swish the water to mix thoroughly.
*Diffuse in your favorite diffuser. Some essential oils to help with breathing:
Myrtle, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Lemon, Raven, RC, Orange. Go slow and add only a few drops to the diffuser to see how it is tolerated.
*Make an oil spray to apply to your chest, back, bottom of your feet.
In a 4 oz. dark glass bottle fill with a carrier oil of your choice.
Add to that: 5 drops Lavender, 2 drops Eucalyptus, 5 drops Chamomile.
Shake it to mix.
*Supplements to consider:
CoQ10 (Young Living Cardiogize)
Vitamins D, C, E, A (Young Living has Super D, Super C, Illumineyes contains Vitamin A and E)
Omega fatty acids (OmegaGize)

This information is not intended to take the place of your physician advice.
Everything in nature is vibrating. Frequencies are measured in MHz. When we have inflammation, irritation or illness our frequency is below the normal 62-68MHz.
When our frequency is between 62-68MHz we will be in a “state of health”.
We can help raise our frequency with the help of essential oils. Most essential oils resonate at a higher frequency than 62-68MHz.
Rose – 320MHz
Helichrysum – 181MHz
Frankincense – 147MHz
Ravensara – 134MHz
Lavender – 118MHz
Blue Tansy – 105MHz
Myrrh – 105MHz
Blue Chamomile – 105MHz
Melissa – 102MHz
Juniper – 98MHz
Aloes/Sandalwood – 96MHz
Angelica – 85MHz
Peppermint – 78MHz
Galbanum – 56MHz
Basil – 52MHz
*One can increase the frequency of an essential oil by adding an intention or prayer.
Hold the bottle of oil in your hand. Open it, give it a smell. Say your intention for yourself or for the person you will be giving the essential oil to. Place a few drops in the palm of the hand. Make a circle in the oil with your index finger, 3 times clockwise to release the energy in the essential oil. Rub your palms together, cupping your hands, inhale deeply. (Not too close to the eyes).
If doing it with a partner allow them to take a deep breath and inhale. You can continue on with brushing through the energy field with the essential oil that you have in your palms of your hands. Start in the front of the body and rotating to the right side, back of the body, through the left side of the body and back to the front, swooping from the top of the head to the feet. This will help clear the persons energy field.
Since the skin is the largest organ in the body it is important to help it with its daily detoxification. A quick 5 minutes of body brushing can do more than just detox the skin.
Why take that 5 minutes to body brush before showering?
Increase the circulation to the skin, possibly reducing the appearance of cellulite.
Produces antibacterial substances to protect against infection and enables your body to produce more Vitamin D when exposed to the sun.
Sheds dead skin cells to help efficiently eliminate wastes from your body.
Improves vascular blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Massaging lymph nodes helps shed excess water and toxins.
Stimulates nerve endings in the skin.
Helps muscle tone.
Helps for a more sound sleep.
Get started:
You will need a high quality brush made from natural materials.
Do it on dry skin before bathing.
Use light but firm circular, upward motions.
Begin at the ankles moving upward to the heart because that is the natural flow of the lymph. Always brush up and in the same direction.
Pay attention to all the body parts, ankles, lower legs, thighs, stomach, chest, back, and arms. Always being careful over tender, sensitive body parts. Body brushing should not hurt. Do not body brush it you have sores, a rash, sun burn, etc.
Body Brushing 3 times a week is most beneficial.
Shower after body brushing.
Make your own body oil blend with your favorite essential oils. Apply your body oil from the ankles upward toward the heart keeping that lymph flow going.
My favorite essential oil body blend:
15 drops @ Lavender, Frankincense, Orange
10 drops @ Patchouly, Geranium and Neroli
2 oz. Organic Argan oil
2 oz. Organic Almond oil
Mix together in a dark glass spray bottle.
